Hi Joan Tyler or tiler could also refer to someone who laid tiles internally for flooring and sometimes walls, as well as roofs - tiles made of various materials were a commonly used material in larger UK houses, especially in kitchens and other utility rooms, in the 19th century, which often ties in on the census with someone who is also described as a plasterer ie someone who plasters ceilings and walls internally in larger houses as well perhaps as plastering houses externally, especially when built with plaster and laith. So no connection with Taylor :-) Paul Portland On Fri, 26 Jan 2001 11:29:38 EST, you wrote: >Hi all, > >I've received some information concerning an ancestor and the occupation >listed is "tyler and plasterer".

Please ignore my last (see below) - thanks to Geoffro! Having just discussed it perhaps I should have checked with Parloc which doesn't include King's Weston as a parish?

Hello listers, I am always looking for information on the descendants of Dr Walter Farquhar HOOK Dean of Chichester, and his wife Anna Delicia JOHNSTON. Their son Walter HOOK was Rector of Porlock,SOM and married to Mary Dyke TROYTE. Today I discovered that their son Arthur James HOOK had been a cricketer of renown. Arthur died 12 February 1957 at Over Stowey,SOM. Does anyone have access to an obituary for him please as I would like to know if he was married with a family? TIA, Judith Stichbury in NZ

Hi everyone I have had email problems today and had just blank downloads. If anyone answered any requests from me could they please resend. Many thanks and sorry for any inconvenience. Carol and Frank in Colwood, BC Canada

Hi all, I've received some information concerning an ancestor and the occupation listed is "tyler and plasterer". I assume "tyler" must have something to do with roofing but what is more interesting is the name of my ancestor is TAYLOR. I'm wondering if perhaps there is some connection between the occupation and the last name --that is -could the word "tyler" have become "taylor" over time? Any comments appreciated. Joan in Freeport,N.Y.

HASELBURY PLUCKNETT, 18 January 1901 Two acres of land in this parish were left in 1830 by Mrs MOUNTFORD, who was buried in Haselbury Churchyard, for the repair of her tombstone, and the surplus to be distributed in bread annually. The distribution recently took place by the Vicar and churchwardens. The field above referred to - Newman's Close - is now rented at £8 5s per annum. SHERBORNE, 12 January 1801 To be let, and entered upon at Lady Day next, a very roomy, healthy and convenient dwelling-house, situated in the most pleasant part of Cheap Street, in Sherborne, late the residence of Thomas GOLLOP, Esq, and before him of Mr Samuel FOOT, with the large walled-in garden, hot-house and shell-house adjoining, and at the upper end of the garden is a good stalled stable and granary. Application to be made (if by letter post paid) to Mr BATSON, at Sherborne afore-said. BRIDPORT, 11 January 1901 On Tuesday the Mayor received a cheque for £15 from Colonel WILLIAMS, MP, to be expended in coal, which the hon. member desired to be distributed amongst the poor of the town. The gallant Colonel will receive the deepest gratitude from those to whom a hundred-weight of coal is a boon at this time of the year. YEOVIL, 5 January 1801 Wants a good situation, as Bailiff or Hine, a man of good character and respectable connections; understands husbandry in all its branches, is well acquainted with all kinds of cattle and timber. The wife very capable of undertaking the office of a housekeeper, and has no objection to superintend a dairy. Their age about 40; have no objection to any part of the kingdom, being without family; should a place offer, they have no objection to going abroad with a travelling family. A place not offering for both, the man will engage for himself. Letters addressed to Mr William KING, hairdresser, mentioning particulars will be duly answered.

Hi Paul I think that perhaps you might have a corrupt installation or file - the Control Bar has installed OK on my PC and I've just done a test print out of parishes within 5 miles of Bridport and had a look at the help file which worked fine and as you say has a diagram showing the control bar etc. Can only suggest you try and download it again, especially as the control bar gives you the option of having alternative views of the data and the ability to filter subsets of the data which I've found particularly useful eg just to be able to look at Dorset parishes etc - one can also look at a brief resume of dates of PRs for a particular parish Regards Paul Portland On Fri, 26 Jan 2001 07:46:53 -0000, you wrote: >Hi Paul and All! > >As you say this program is certainly more comprehensive than the earlier >one.

Hi Paul and Chris Thanks Paul! And we all know the problems related to transcripts ;-) Chris - I should keep your options open - if you don't find what you are looking for at Kingweston then you know you've got try King's Weston!

Kingsweston, Bristol is in fact an administrative part of Bristol and covers Lawrence Weston and a part of Sea Mills/Combe Dingle. Lawrence Weston where I am happy to live and bring up our children has suffered from a bad press. We have our own Roman Ruins - being an old Roman bathhouse and our own ancient Quakers burial ground. All we are missing is the village pond on the green- although we do have the duck pond on Napier Miles Road. Rich people and snobs prefer to tell people that they live in Kingsweston rather than Lawrence Weston.

Hi Chris and All! I'm sure that Paul's Kingweston is the correct one especially in view of the lack of an "s". However, there is a King's Weston which is now a Bristol suburb. This lies between Westbury on Trym and Shirehampton and would have been right on the old Gloucestershire/Somerset border.

Hi Paul and All! As you say this program is certainly more comprehensive than the earlier one. I have, however encountered a small problem. Despite the help files mentioning a "Control Bar" with options to print and otherwise manipulate the data, I can find no sign of such a facility. The" filter and bookmarking" etc bar appears OK but not the other one which is illustrated in "Help". In fact I only located the help files via Wndows Explorer as there seems to be no link from the program itself. Any ideas?

Hi Judith I would suggest that if your relative was a well known cricketer then your best bet would be to try and obtain a look-up from the Wisden Cricket Almanac. Maybe one of the cricket newsgroups can help: England.Sport.Cricket rec.sport.cricket rec.sport.cricket.info rec.sport.cricket.scores uk.sport.cricket Regret I don't know which would be the most suitable! I see that they also do look-ups on the Wisden site at: http://www.wisden.com/ Might be worth a try?

Does SKS have access to the 1851 Census Index (Gordon Beavington's Downloads perhaps) for: 1.) Bridgwater. I am looking for Charles Edwards, a sailor. age not known. (my great-grandmother Anna Edwards was supposedly born about 1855, Bridgwater, father's name Charles, a sailor, but I have been unable to find a birth cert for her) 2.) Hillfarrance or Wellington area. I am looking for Charlotte Payne born about 1830, daughter of John, mother's name may be Hannah. Thank you very much. Dorothy
